The kids helped Mem and Grandfather put up their tree today. This tree is in the living room and they will get a living tree for the sunporch. Decorating the tree the day after Thanksgiving has been a tradition for the kids and their grandparents.
Today was a relaxing day we hung out, went downtown for a little shopping and tonight Uncle Jim bought dinner from The Quarterdeck. After dinner we all watched A Christmas Story Christmas. I think everyone enjoyed the movie even though the kids swear that they have not seen the original. I know I have tried to show it to them, though.
Today we celebrated thanksgiving on Cape Cod. It was a very nice day filled with good food and family. After our meal Allison and I went for a walk along the beach. Andy went for a walk with Uncle Jim. they went for a nice long walk and Andy really enjoyed spending time with him.
I noticed that the benches along the beach were decorated with some wreaths and thought I’d capture them along with the sunset which was again beautiful. We were very lucky with each night’s amazing sunset.
We hung out tonight and watched some of the Patriots game. They did not win, unfortunately. But, we had a nice night hanging out and being with family.
Speaking of family we all donned our new family pjs for Christmas. While starting Christmas traditions this early doesn’t sit well with Eva she does enjoy this one and so we got together for a family photo on the sunporch to wear the family Christmas pjs for the first time tonight. We’ve been doing this for many years now and it is a tradition I love. This year we went with ones from Old Navy and they are the best fitting ones I’ve gotten so far.
